In addition to fundamental Extrusion Blow Molding training, this package teaches participants how to correctly read and interpret engineering drawings.

The Extrusion Blow Molding Quality Technician package includes our Basic Measuring Tools courses, which are based on our exclusive SkillSet™ online/hands-on hybrid learning model. These courses teach users how to correctly obtain and verify the accuracy of measurements taken with common measuring tools.

This two-part online training program was created for all personnel within the blow molding industry who would like to expand or fine-tune their math skills.

Part 1:

Whole Numbers, Negative Numbers and Decimals

Using a Calculator

Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division

Rounding Numbers and Significant Figures

Formulas, Equations and Order of Operations

Part 2:

Metric and Imperial Units

Length and Distance

Area, Volume & Flow

Weight, Mass and Force

Conversions

Understanding Percentages

Calculating Tolerances

Extrusion Blow Molding Series

Our online Extrusion Blow Molding training courses were developed in collaboration with The Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) and are designed to provide participants with a thorough understanding of what’s involved in the Extrusion Blow Molding process.

The topics covered in this training series include a wide range of extrusion blow molding information and common procedures. All three online courses use standard industry terms and practices with an emphasis on safety, and will enhance the knowledge base of all personnel involved with Extrusion Blow Molding.

These courses teach participants correct usage and procedures for verifying the accuracy of measuring devices used at your facility.

Each of the twenty-one video/worksheet combinations focuses on a particular measuring tool. The steps outlined in each course ensure the tool is being used properly — and providing reliable measurements.

Users will learn best-practices for handling and storing measuring equipment, stabilizing tools and part features for improved accuracy, and how to perform a simplified verification (also known as a “Field Check”) for each tool covered in the training series.

BACKGROUND: Ensures your technicians understand the common uses and functionality of each measuring tool

The Basic Measuring Tools series is ideal for operators, inspectors, technicians, engineers, machinists, quality and maintenance personnel, research and development, metrology, field support, tooling – or anyone that works with measuring tools in any industry.

These courses discuss common gauges, indicators, calipers and micrometers. Both analog and digital displays are covered — as well as both Imperial and Metric units, making these courses relevant to a wide range of applications and manufacturing facilities around the world.

Using a Go / No-Go GaugeDetermine whether a part is acceptable or not, using a go / no-go gauge.

Using Pin GaugesDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification by taking pin gauge measurements.

Using Thickness GaugesDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification by taking thickness gauge measurements.

Using Gauge BlocksCreate three specific heights using multiple gauge blocks — and then verify these heights through measurement.

Using a Linear IndicatorDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification, based on a linear indicator measurement.

Using Slide Calipers for Outside MeasurementDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification, based on an outside measurement taken with slide calipers.

Using Slide Calipers for Inside MeasurementDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification, based on an inside measurement using slide calipers.

Using Slide Calipers for Depth MeasurementDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification based on a depth measurement using slide calipers.

Field-Checking Slide CalipersDetermine if a caliper is functioning properly by performing a field check.

Using an Outside MicrometerDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification, based on an outside micrometer measurement.

Using an Inside MicrometerDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification, based on an inside micrometer measurement.

Using a Depth MicrometerDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification, based on a depth micrometer measurement.

Field-Checking an Outside MicrometerDetermine if an outside micrometer is functioning properly by performing a field check.

Field-Checking an Inside MicrometerDetermine if an inside micrometer is functioning properly by performing a field check.

Field-Checking a Depth MicrometerDetermine if a depth micrometer is functioning properly by performing a field check.

Using a Depth GaugeDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification, based on a depth gauge measurement.

Using a Height GaugeDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification, based on a height gauge measurement.

Using a Dial Bore GaugeDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification, based on a dial bore gauge measurement.

Using a Hole Gauge or Telescoping GaugeDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification, based on a measurement taken with a hole gauge or telescoping gauge.

Field-Checking a Depth GaugeDetermine if a depth gauge is functioning properly by performing a field check.

Field-Checking a Height GaugeDetermine if a height gauge is functioning properly by performing a field check.

Blueprint Reading

The six programs in our online blueprint reading training course develop workers’ abilities to accurately locate and interpret dimensions on engineering drawings. These training programs are based on ANSI standards and incorporate input from a broad industrial cross-section.

The primary audience is production and inspection personnel, supervisors, group leaders, set-up personnel, and anyone who wishes to read engineering drawings.

Course 1: Introduction to Engineering Drawings

Explains the purpose of an engineering drawing

Distinguish between a detail drawing and an assembly drawing

Interpret the drawing scale

Explains the purpose of dimensions and tolerances

Course 2: Multiview Drawings

The six principal views of a third-angle projection

Identify the ISO symbols for third-angle and first-angle projections

Auxiliary views, partial views, and enlarged views

Determine which line takes precedence over another

Course 3: Sectional Views

Determine which portion of the part is shown in section

Explain the purpose of section lines and identify the ways in which they are used
